Upgrading

The following descripts how to upgrade the version of Jenkins and plugins referenced in this repository. Both Jenkins core and plugins versions are pinned within build.gradle. This process will outline how to painlessly upgrade the versions.

Prerequisites

Download and add to your $PATH jenkins-call-url.

Upgrade Jenkins and plugins

From the root of the repository run:

./scripts/upgrade/upgrade_build_gradle.sh

It executes the upgrade_build_gradle.sh script. It will automatically log into Jenkins, download core, upgrade all plugins, restart Jenkins, and edit the build.gradle file with the latest revisions. It is able to accomplish this by executing scripts within the Jenkins script console.

Add missing plugins

After running upgrade_build_gradle.sh, if there are missing plugins then add it to build.gradle in the getplugins section referring to `repo.jenkins-ci.org for GAV coordinates of the missing plugin.

Run through tests

After upgrading purge and bootstrap Jenkins again. Run through the test sequence documented in root README.
